Fuji GS645 focus accuracy

[Marco D'Elia]

Hi, I'm looking for Fujica GS645 Professional, the old folding camera. What about focus accuracy? Can I use this camera for portraits or focus at 2 mt or less?

Thanks,
Marco

Marco,
I just received my GS645 and can't imagine focusing this close for a protrait. I believe that it focuses to 2m, but I'll have to check and get back to you. The negative is large enough that you will have ample space to crop to the image you want.

Thanks Richard, I look your gallery. This picture is heavy cropped?

I want to do pictures of people with low DOF, not so much close, like this:

I work with hassye/80mm but is not so small to carry every day. The Fuji seems to be my perfect tool, not so much expensive and good lens quality, if the accuracy of focus is good I try to buy one.
🙂

I wait your test, thank you.

For whatever interest it may have, here are a couple of shots from my GS645, with 60mm lens and which does not fold. Neither have more than the most minimal cropping. The second shot is at the close-focus limit of the camera.

I would agree this model too is very light and compact, a joy to carry.
